Who's going to do the deed? :cheer:

I've create the new Republic guild, Knights of Stonewall.

You can check it out and apply here.

I had a few issues setting it up. First of all, we're limited to one type of game play, PvE or PvP. Also, we can only select US or Europe servers, not both, which I'm afraid will segment the player base. For now, I've set Knights of Stonewall as PvE in the EST time zone and later on we can create other guilds or change this one as our needs become better defined. Also, when filling in the Mission Statement, I was told that I was using "inappropriate terms." With a little investigation, these turned out to be the "gay" and "lesbian" so I had to modify them to be able to get Mission Statement to save. I've contacted customer support and hope to get the terms removed from the filter.

As for the Empire guild, you're only allowed to create one guild per account, so I'd have to create a second account to be able to create it. With the issues with creating the first guild, I'm gonna wait until we have more info before starting the second.

Yeah, I figured it had to do with the server configuration, but the limitations on US vs Europe servers, I'm afraid that it'll separate the fleet and we'll have to change the way things operate completely.

That addresses above just redirects to www.swtor.com and the link to our mini-site is the one above. It's alright, but nothing that special.

I got the following reply today from my support ticket on not being able to use "gay" or "lesbian" in the Mission Statement:

I've updated the Mission Statement and it worked perfectly now. Their quick response and the ease of getting this fixed really makes me happy. :)

I was worried for a bit.:blush: Now im :)

Any word yet on the creation of an Empire aligned Guild that is associated With Knights of Stonewall?
